Over 93.31 crore portability transactions recorded under One Nation One Ration Card
The Union Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ms. Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today informed that One Nation One Ration Card  plan, for nation-wide portability of the National Food Security Act 2013  benefits, is presently enabled in all the 36 States/UTs , covering entire NFSA population  in the country. Under the plan, the NFSA beneficiaries have been empowered with the choice to lift their entitled foodgrain from any Fair Price Shop  of their choice, anywhere in the country, by using their existing ration card with biometric authentication on an electronic Point of Sale  device.
ONORC plan is particularly beneficial for those NFSA beneficiaries who frequently change their place of dwelling in search of temporary employment or for other reasons and miss out their food security benefits due to migration – such as numerous workers/labourers, daily-wagers, urban poor like rag-pickers, street-dwellers, temporary workers in both organized and un-organized sectors, domestic workers, etc. So far, a total of 93.31 crore portability transactions are recorded under ONORC. State-wise list of ONORC portability transactions is under.
